Researching one's family tree
is a long process and and only the ones close to your heart and in
your life can be verified in the beginning.
Browsing through the many other family trees on the
internet we can find thousands of new cousins, and thankfully there
are many census records, cemetery records, etc. available to verify
those.
Some may not be verified and need further research. I
have ordered a few death certificates, browsed through boxes of our
old family photos with names and dates on them, cards, letters, and
notebooks, to put this together, yet am quite certain there are
still many corrections and additions to come.
Dozens of new
cousins have emailed me with some detail about their connection to
my lineage and it's been wonderful getting to know you all. Some
want me to show them their indian blood which is impossible, I only
know my own. I know that my dad was one quarter Cherokee and his
sister calls her son Regal Eagle and my mom's great great grandpa
Stephens married a full blood Cherokee in SC before his journey to
the Dublin / Ramer area where I have visited a few times to do my
research. Her great great grandmother Nancy Anderson has two
grandmothers from Cherokee blood and maybe more.
Both of my
parents had Cherokee blood but it is highly possible there was some
other native american blood in their lineage. Many of my mother's
ancestors lived among the Creeks in the 1700s and my father's
lineage was in Kentucky 1800 where many tribes had migrated, yet
soon after, they all began to migrate to Iowa Territory and Indiana,
ending up in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
it's been said that my
dad's great grandfather John Wright Little refused an indian land
allotment however he did uproot his family from their Kentucky roots
to migrate to a homestead in Arkansas and his descendants ended up
in Alabama.
When I was looking into my husband's line I was
told that his mom's grandmother Partridge was an indian from Georgia
and I did find her families on census there before they all moved
into Elmore County

Annie Lee Carter changed her name to Anne
Alice Carter, because she had no idea that her grandmother
was Annie Lee Stone Fenn Carter born about 1875, so she
chose to use her own mother's name Alice. Annie Lee Stone
might have been the full blood Cherokee we are searching
for. Of course Annie Lee Stone might have married a half
blood Wm Fenn in 1893 as we see the Cherokee blood runs
strong in his mother's line of Harrell.

When I began working the Sellers lineage of
my mother, I found where one of the cousins, Nathaniel Sellers
married a Schrimpshire girl and her sister married an Indian Chief
Dennis Bushyhead. I have several of those branches !!! In the
Sellers case, the Sellers and Andersons already had Indian blood in
their line from their grandmothers of North Carolina 1700s. The
Scrimpshire father, Martin, had married a Gunter who was full blood
Cherokee and they all resided in Guntersville Alabama. One of the
Gunters married a McCoy girl but then I found one of my Fenn
grandfathers did also!! Mrs Fenn then named a son Travis and he
married a girl only known as ?Mary?. which might be another
clue.
Then I looked for the parents of Martin
Schrimpshire and found his mother was listed online as ?Edith Kona
Edna Vann? - lo and behold another famous Cherokee name, which is
where I need to study their hometown known as Big Joe Vann?s Spring
Place in Georgia.
My own grandfather Cecil Fenn Carter said
they were Cherokee and I managed to locate his sister Carrie in
Choctaw Nation Oklahoma. Carrie's husband Ben Johnson was born
in Indian Nation, Texas but his mother was an indian from Alabama
and his father "denied" her the right to join the Rolls.
Carrie and Cecil had a brother, Frank Jr.,
who called them "half" siblings so maybe Mr. Carter was the father
of them - we will never know ! There are many Carter families
online researching their Cherokee blood. What we do know is
that William Fenn born 1855 in Tuskegee Alabama married Anna Lou
Stone in 1893 and she left him about 1900 to remarry, but she joined
her family in Macon Georgia. Anna's Uncle Charles Stone named
his sons Tecumseh and Osceola.Also when I studied my daughter's
Westbrook family, I found their great great grandfather named a son
with his second wife, Osceola.
Following the path of the old ones.
We lived along Mingo Road in Broken Arrow, Tulsa County,
Oklahoma and my dad's parents at one time lived in Chelsea, Rogers
County, Oklahoma before settling in Labette, KS.
Many of his
family migrated into Arizona near many indian reservations which still exist and we soon joined them
living by his Aunt Eunice. Mom's brothers visited often and one
owned a roofing company in Enid, OK while the other lived in North
Carolina, where his wife's grandfather was a pastor in the Cherokee
Reservation.
We lived amongst people of all colors and heard
many different languages and took note of various
traditions.

Jacob Benjamin Cochran was my dad's grandfather. He was born in
1822 Ohio and was in the Civil War. His grandfather Alexander
Cochran of Pennsylvania was in the American Revolution. Jacob
married Clora Jane Miller about 1879 in Iowa and had Frank Delbert
when they settled in Hill City Kansas. Frank D. married
Luella Coonfield in Arkansas and had my Dad in 1927. Luella's
family came from Kentucky, her mom was Lattie Cedonia Little, a
daughter of John Wright Little and Catherine Crigler.
Catherine's parents were Catherine Roby and Abraham Crigler.
The Coonfields were in Kentucky by 1800 and so were the
others.
Meanwhile in Alabama about 1826, Peter Bozeman settled in Hope
Hull and all along through Ramer and Dublin were found our Elisha
Anderson, Abner Broadway, Calvin Sellers, John Stephens, and after
the Civil War came Josiah Marion McClain. About
that time John Fenn settled in Tuskegee and had a son William
Franklin Fenn who married Anna Lou Stone in 1893 and had a son
Cecil Earl around 1900. William worked on his uncle Matthew
Fenn's plantation in Eufaula but Anna divorced him and left about
1901 with Cecil. Her parents were born in Macon County, Mary
Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Fenn.
In 1861 Peter Edward Bozeman married Nancy Jane Anderson and
worked their 40 acre cotton farm in Dublin. His mother was
Martha Hill born about 1800 South Carolina and they lived near her
brother John Hill, who created Hills Chapel, the church, the
school and the cemetery. It is possible that their father
the elder John Hill once lived there as well.
Nancy's son John Thomas Bozeman married Alice Lorena Stephens
and she had Lorena Emma Bozeman in 1890, and Ethel Mae about
1892. Alice died birthing a son in 1894. Then John married
Sarah Ellen Bean and several more children came including our
Uncle Bob.
Lorena married Charles Allen McClain, the son of Elizabeth
Broadway and Josiah McClain. Josiah was born in Georgia to
"Anna" and James McClain. James' grandparents came from
Virginia in the 1700s, Elizabeth Moon and Charles McClain, found
in 1800 Spartanburg SC.
Lorena McClain had Alice and she married Cecil Earl Fenn
Carter. His mother Anna Lou Stone Fenn had remarried and gave him
the Carter name. Cecil had served several years in the Army
in El Paso but returned after his mother died and stayed in
Montgomery near his sickly father Wm Fenn who had left the farm
and retired near the train station with most of his other children
who began to work for the railroad.
Alice and Cecil lived on Columbus Street and had three children
including my mother born in 1934, Anne. Anne grew up
to marry Frankie Cochran. Anne's daughter married
Charles Brooks. His family also came from downtown
Montgomery around 1900 where his grandpa James E. Brooks
worked for the State, but his daddy worked for the railroad.
James was the son of Annie Ballard and John Brooks of Tennessee
and he married Susie Mae Cooper, the daughter of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper.
Susie named her son James Jr and he married
Mary Ella Thornton who's ancestors are found in Elmore County in
the 1800s.

Our ancestors met before the Civil
War. They came together in Montgomery sharing cotton plantations
in the fields you now see when passing through
Montgomery on I-65. Yet after the war this land was
worthless, being destroyed as Wilsons Raiders burned a path
through the state but these families struggled to revive as much
as they could. I found an old cemetery with some tombstones dating
back to 1793 on this property and then tried to trace their
descendants across town. In 1900 I find them again in downtown
Montgomery near the train station as many others had migrated into
our lineage and they once again worked together. In fact my mother
in law in 1950 had taken in the widow of my great grandfather when
she had no place to go. My husband's cousin Sue Carol on his
mother's side married one of my mother's Bozeman Cousins and his
father's great grandpa Thomas Carter was once married to another
of our Bozeman Cousins in Hope Hull. Our families
were always close, we just did not realize how very close.
My father came from Kansas and married my mom in Montgomery in
1951, while he was stationed at Maxwell AFB after injuries from
being shot in the Korean War - his lineage was partly in
Pennsylvania and South Carolina before migrating into Kentucky and
Ohio and then on into the midwest. Together we have dozens
of grandfathers in the American Revolution and the Civil
War.

.I have uploaded records,
photos, documents to the web and most can be found through the
searchbox below if the links still work. Some servers keep
changing things around and items get lost but eventually if you
search within www.usgenweb.com the information
will appear. I had once posted on aol hometown pages but
after ten years of hard labor, they deleted that server and so did
rootschat.com, so while the freepages are available they do hold a
lot of wonderful genealogy, but once they are gone, so is our
work.

My parents were Annie Carter and Frankie
Cochran and
there are many names in their ancestry. I am also researching the
ancestors of my husband, Charles Brooks. and saving it all on various webpages. and creating my own internet family
webring and searchbox so that any of our relatives can be looked up. There are many
free webspace providers online, like Rootsweb.com or angelfire.com therefore I have many links to peruse.
Along with collecting family stories and documents, I am also
researching the military records, finding several who served in the
Civil War. and several listed in the DAR catalog
online.
Now with tons of census records and documents, I am
researching their hometowns, trying to learn more about their
neighbors and their lifestyle.
When I began working the Sellers lineage of my mother, I found
where one of the cousins, Nathaniel Sellers married a Schrimpshire
girl and her sister married an Indian Chief Dennis Bushyhead. I have

Also when I studied my daughter's Westbrook family, I

wife, Osceola.
My own transcription of 1840 Montgomery
Captain George Little and Isaac Coonfield were the grandfathers
of the Cochrans
who had migrated into
Kentucky about 1800, but this line also intermarried with the
Criglers, Douglass, Handley, Roby, Simmons, Wright, Weatherford,
Swearengin, Wells, Clark, Young, Henderson, Sturgeon, Miller,
Crawford, Parker, Tefft, White, Sweet, names.
My grandmother was Luella
Coonfield Cochran and she was Cherokee by blood from some of those
above.
Annie Carter's line
includes Fann, Stone, Anderson, Brack, Doty, Stephens, Bozeman,
Moon, McClain,Harrell, Sellers, Fenn, Wood, Broadway, Hill, most of
whom began in Virginia and migrated south.
The Brooks line
includes, Thornton, Hood, Baxley, Partridge, Culpepper, Blackstone,
Ballard, Smith, Bond, Craig, Pennington, Baxter, mainly from Georgia
and Tennessee.

www.accessgenealogy.comHas tons of
records, Indian rolls, military and many other free records,
biographies and images .
One thing in researching our ancestors, nearly every line was
honored to have someone Who served in the American Revolution and
then another in the Civil War, as well as Other military services.
These records are available on the internet.
Most are able to find one relative on the Trail Of Tears but none
of mine yet. They married whites and lived as white.
Many were lost to diseases, fevers, other epidemics and many were
orphaned, had legal guardians, adopted or just took up with another
family.
Some famous names were in South Carolina living near my families,
Rogers, McQueen, Weatherford, McIntosh, McGillvary, Gist, wasn?t
Sequoyah?s father a Guist? There was even a non cousin Cynthia
Parker kidnapped in the 1800s by an Indian and she gave birth to the
next Indian chief Quannah Parker. Amazing history even with common
names. Many of my surnames are found in Indian Nation Oklahoma, just
not my direct line.
I did find my grandpa Frank D. Cochran and his wife Luella in
1920 census living near Will Rogers in Chelsea, Rogers County,
Oklahoma, near many other Coonfields who did marry Indians. Will
Rogers became a famous actor and Indian chief. His father Clement
had come from South Carolina into Tennessee. Great reading. My
parents were living in Broken Arrow on Mingo Road in Tulsa Oklahoma
when I was born. Mother was tracing her roots even back then. Her
brother Billy Carter loved Indian Country and remained in Enid
Oklahoma for many years.
There were several Rogers families around my Bozemans in South
Carolina who migrated to Alabama in the 1820s, while Alabama was
still a wilderness full of beasts and several Indian tribes.
Usgenweb.com has each state listed and offers a ton of old stuff
to read and study and of course the census records online at
ancestry or heritage quest help locate the families, with dates and
ages, and place of birth, but then you get to see their neighbors
and often times, the neighbors were family members.
When I found George Little in Kentucky, two of his sons lived by
him, two of his married daughters, then his in laws and as each
decade passed, there were many more to find near them who had also
intermarried into the lineage.
He was born 1733...age 21 when he came to America ( 1754 )
married and then 10 children.....was in war 1776 at age 43 for two
years in the Third Regiment of the Colonial Army..was Sargent,
Lieutenant, then Captain until Tarleton's men shot him in the hip
causing disability......on 1790 census with 10 others in
household...
His son Jonas Little married Betsy Douglass and then George
married Betsy?s widowed mother, Mary Handley Douglass. Jonas named a
son Douglass Little and one Hiram Little, then having several other
children all born in Kentucky around 1820. The Wright sisters came
along and married
Hiram and Douglass. The mother of the Wright girls was Catherine
Weatherford, a daughter of Charles Weatherford, born in Charlotte
Virginia to Mary Half Blood. Of all the many Weatherfords I have
researched during that era, he is the only one I have found who
could have moved to Alabama and married Sehoy. The father of Charles
was Martin Weatherford , a wealthy planter who surely made his mark
in history, being banned from the state of Georgia and fled to the
Bahamas. The son of Charles was William Weatherford, or Chief Red
Eagle, and those Creek Indians were all over south Alabama, but then
I found many other of my relatives around south Alabama and wonder,
was there Creek blood in my line? Why were so many of our
ancestors moving into the indian nation.
Grandpa William Fenn was born in Tuskegee Alabama, former Creek
Nation. His wife Anna Stone was also born in Macon County , former
Creek Nation, but their son said he was Cherokee. When the parents
and grandparents of the Fenns and Stones are studied in early
Georgia around 1700s, they were among Creek and Cherokee. William
told his children that the baby, Cecil ( my grandfather ) was only
their ?half? sibling. Anna divorced William and moved back to Macon
Georgia and married a Carter - Cecil used that name and never used
the Fenn name, even though he visited them often.
William had managed his cousin?s Fenn Plantation in Eufaula for
many years and many slaves and Indians had worked the crops -
perhaps one was the Carter man? This we will never know. Barbour
County history mentions the plantation owner Matthew Fenn who had
left Georgia and bought up hundreds of acres of land in Alabama.
Cecil was said to have been a mean husband to my granny Alice
McClain, that he would get drunk and beat her, causing her death,
once she delivered her third child. Then he drank himself to death
only a few years after. The children were raised by the McClains and
probably never met the Fenns until they had grown to adulthood. They
had a very poor difficult life and were teased and taunted about
being Indians.
When I began interviewing people about the McClains and Bozemans
of Ramer I found that the Bozeman men were also rough with their
women. Lorena?s father married 4 times but only two had children
with him. One left him soon after the marriage. They were cotton
farmers and also had a poor life, with very little education. It is
said that the Bozeman ancestors who had settled in Hope Hull lost
everything due to the Civil War.
Anne Alice Carter married Frankie Lavern Cochran in 1951 and was
blessed to have such a good honest hard working man. His mother was
Luella Coonfield Cochran and she told her children that she was ?
Cherokee blood. Her mother was Lattie Little who had married Ben
Coonfield in Arkansas and granny Lattie said they had mixed blood
from another tribe as well.
On one census record about 1910 Lattie?s grandfather Abraham
Crigler is living with them - he had become widowed in Kentucky when
his wife Catherine Roby passed away. Lattie?s father John Wright
Little had made that same move several years prior, when his wife,
Catherine Crigler died.
Family lore has it that John was offered a land allotment in
Oklahoma?s Indian Territory and he refused it. He was a blacksmith
in the Civil War and I have his military records. John is now buried
on some unknown mountain top in Arkansas.
Starting my husband?s genealogy, I found my cousin Wayne Bozeman
married to Charlie?s cousin Sue Carol - her mother was a Thornton
and told her kids that their granny Mary Angeline Partridge Thornton
was an Indian out of Georgia, who settled into Central, Elmore
County, Alabama. They lived at Cold Springs. When you visit Central,
you find Lake Martin and Kowaliga, where the old wooden indian
stands by the restaurant near the open church in the pines, a
beautiful area.
I found their great grandpa Brooks married in Tennessee to Annie
Clark Ballard. Annie had only one child, James, who married Mamaw -
Susie Mae Cooper. Susie?s grandfather was Thomas R Carter of South
Carolina, born 1820, and his first wife was a Bozeman. Thomas had
bought a small piece of land from my Bozeman grandfather at Hope
Hull off McLean Road. That farm was once 160 acre cotton plantation
owned by American Revolution Patriot Peter Bozeman born 1755 North
Carolina, who was in Darlington South Carolina 1800 where he was
given a few hundred acres for his service in the war. Peter and
several other families had moved to Hope Hull so the census of 1830
Alabama resembles the 1820 census of Darlington.
They had Alabama Fever!
The land of cotton, corn and faith.
There are many books I have found to include my ancestors and
surely there are many more to be discovered. Some pages are
scanned and placed in my webpages to verify their place in time.

Notes
My daughter's Marriage into the Westbrook family, now there are
many new names to study like Grauer, Glass, Holt, Braswell, Penton,
Jones, Holly. Daddy, Charles Brooks had dozens and dozens of
ancestors migrating into Alabama in the early 1800s. Joseph Baxley
born 1815 Georgia or possibly as some speculate, in SC., married
Mary Evans and named a son James H. - the tombstone of James has the
middle name as Hardie. James served in the Civil War and married
Louisa Miranda Holt and resided in "Holtville". Their daughter Ella
Olivia Baxley married L. W. Hood and had Bessie Mae Hood who married
Milton Elijah Thornton. Elijah's parents were Mary Angeline
Partridge, an indian, and George Thornton, a mixed blood from
Georgia, who had settled in Central, Elmore County, Alabama.
Elijah's daughter, Mary Ella Thornton married James Edgar Brooks Jr.
Parents of James were Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. James
and Susie are listed on the 1930 census with both their widowed
mothers. Susie's ancestors were in Chambers County about 1830:
Andrew Cooper and "Alsey" from SC living near Malinda Phillips and
Elijah Lee born 1777 SC. Their children Sarah F. Lee married Charner
P. Cooper, a soldier from the Civil War, and had a son named Levi
who moved to Hope Hull working on a farm owned by Thomas Randolph
Carter, where he fell in love with the daughter, Sarah Elizabeth
Carter. Parents of Thomas were "Mary" and John Wise Carter of SC who
had migrated to Talledega. Thomas is buried in Hope Hull on his old
plantation by his first wife Lacy Jane Bozeman. Her name was Lucy on
census but Lacy on her tombstone. Thomas served in the Civil War and
his grandfather Captain John Carter served in the American
Revolution, along with his own father in law, John Wise of South
Carolina....The second wife of Thomas Carter was Mary Josephine
Hereferd of Virginia and she was the mother of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter...Mary was not very happy with this marriage and had only the
one child. She buried Thomas by his first wife. Some of Mary's
family settled in Alabama and some moved on to Texas. Mary's mother
was Jemima Ramsey of Virginia..Parents of James Brooks were Annie
Ballard and John Brooks of Tennesse and they are all buried at
Greenwood Cemetery in Montgomery Alabama. John was a railroad man,
born to Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and a John Brooks born 1837
Pennsylvania. John 1837 died of tuberculosis in Texas. Parents of
Roxanna were Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith. Parents of Annie
Ballard were Dora Craig and James Ballard of TN. Some of these
families migrated into Tennessee about 1800 from the Carolinas
living amongst the Cherokee Indians and Chickasaw so they could have
been mixed blood. Annie's picture shows she was a dark lady with
black eyes and black hair and so was her husband's features very
dark but I would suspect his from the Smith side of the
family....

of Charlie was 1886 and all other records seem to differ

Our Relatives
My Cochran Clan of Scotland settled in Pennsylvania in the 1700s
and had something to do with Cochranville PA, appearing as merchants
on the census. Quakers and or Pennsylvania Dutch, they moved into
Ohio by 1810, then Iowa and on to Hill City, Kansas where Grandpa
Jacob Cochran became the first HomeSteader. Captain George Little of
Scotland born 1735 was in Union South Carolina and served in the
American Revolution, settling into Kentucky about 1802 with his
second wife Mary Handley Douglass. Here his children met up with the
Criglers, Carpenters, Roby, Simmons, Wells families. The Coonfields
of Holland were in PA in the 1700s and Isaac born about 1760 was in
the 1800 Kentucky Tax List. His great grandson Ben Coonfield married
Lattie Little. Their daughter Luella married Frank D Cochran. Our
grandfather Captain George Little was wounded during the Revolution,
therefore exempt from any poll or tax list. Some of the Coonfields
and Cochrans were in Iowa Territory in the 1800s and Isaac Coonfield
Jr. had settled in Indiana. In Virginia 1600s is found Bozeman,
McClain, Moon, Fann, Stone and 1700s North and South Carolina, are
my Andersons, Brack,Doty, Sellers, Stephens ancestors who all
eventually migrated into Georgia and Alabama, many listed in the DAR
soldiers and patriots listing online. Much has been written about
William Benjamin Sellers and John Stephens; The Doty family came
from the first Thanksgiving in America, including our Edward
Doty. The capital city of Montgomery attracted most who were
moving into Alabama. They farmed cotton and hauled by horse and
wagon to Dexter Avenue to sell it. Those in Ramer or Dublin had a
very hard time on the nasty dirt roads with their wagons getting
stuck, that they found it much closer, to just travel to Troy and
sell their crops. Cousin Clarence deserves much credit for his
work on the Brooks family tree. Our Hans Brooke came from Holland
with a french wife and settled in Pennsylvania, having four
children. Son John was found on the 1860 census of Giles Tennessee
where he married and began a family but he also died young of
tuberculosis and his wife remarried. Even though we all studied
history as children, only now do I realize how harshly the epidemics
harmed our families. There were very few doctors, and even less
money to pay them, so most families made their own tonics or salves
and tried to heal their own. Also we begin to realize that our own
ancestors were the indians who lost their lands during the Trail or
Tears and that we also had ancestors serving in the American
Revolution. We had ancestors in the Civil War with some in the Union
and some in the Confederacy. There is a documented soldier or patiot
in most of my surnames of this lineage. Years ago when I first
started this family tree, I downloaded a Cochran file online and
thanks to Richard for his hard work on my Dad's lineage and the rest
is my own labor of love. I took what Richard had posted on rootsweb
and began my own census search to verify each family in the line and
found even more to add, especially the Jacob Cochran file I received
from cousin Chuck. Soon my little family tree became an addiction to
genealogy. I have met many new cousins on the internet and shared
stories and pictures. Much of my research has been found on usgenweb
and the lds websites and I do thank my Bozeman cousins for meeting
with me on 5/2/2007 and helping us find the grave of Peter Edward
Bozeman. I have visited many cemeteries and ordered death
certificates to prove my lineage.Elisha Anderson's will was probated
in Montgomery 1834, Several marriage licenses and estate sales, even
confederate applications. The first Peter Bozeman born 1758 has
letters filed here in 1828 where he wrote to the revolutionary
office. Many books have been written about our families and my
own book sits on my desk and is being added to each day but will
never be published.

that Peter did in fact own land in Alabama. Now we need to go back
and find the followup to this document to see when the land was sold
and to whom.

young Charles Weatherford who could have been her brother and then a
Patsy Weatherford who might have been her mother. Family legend is
that John's family refused a land allotment in Indian nation
Oklahoma, but it is a mystery as to why he chose to move to
Arkansas.

1826. The Andersons and Bozemans lived next to each other in Hope
Hull 1830 with Peter Edward being born in 1834. When William died,
Martha Hill Bozeman moved to Dublin near her brother John Hill, who
created the Hills Chapel School and Church........ After the Civil
War Peter and Nancy bought land in Ramer/ Dublin area along the
Meriweather Trail close to John Hill. John Hill donated land for

WWI Charles McClain (36
KB) his birth date is wrong, should be 1886 but it shows
his wife as Lorena Bozeman. Charles was the son of Elizabeth
Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain's who's families migrated from
South Carolina into Georgia, then Alabama. Josiah descends from
Elizabeth Moon and Charles McClain of 1750s Virginia. Elizabeth Moon
had named a son Josiah and his son James had married an indian woman
called Anna - Anna had a son named Josiah. I have seen three
different dates of birth for grandpa Charlie but they had very
little education, some could not read nor write at all, so the
numbers are often mixed up. His mother Elizabeth was the daughter of
Mary Stephens and Abner Broadway, and when Josiah died about 1897,
she remarried to John Gardner of Dublin. Elizabeth and John and
Charlie are found on the 1900 census, then again in 1910 with
Lorena.

Unknown connection but our Peter

Peter in 1800 Darlington census. Peter's son was named Jesse
M Bozeman and I can only suppose that M was for Mordecai and
then can suppose it is possible that was also Peter's
father's name.......now go back to the Jesse who served in
the American Revolution and wonder if his middle initial was
also M - could he have really been Peter's father living so
close to him in 1800.............we may never know.

Connections...
Peter Bozeman had 3 daughters in 1810, Lucy married
Sterling Campbell, one might have married Vincent Joiner, or Howell
Mason or Edmund Lewis, but Vincent Joiner is the only one signing
the Estate petition by the widow Sarah. Then we see a David Campbell
as Justice of the Peace on later documents and a John Hill signed
affidavit for Nancy Jane Anderson Bozeman to get her husband's Civil
War Pension.
Sarah and Peter's son Jesse may have been an attorney
and filed many court documents as the family members passed
away. He handled his father's estate sale and many familiar
names made purchases. In 1838 he sold his parent's land, land
which I cannot find a deed for, but it was divided among the heirs
which did not include Sarah's son Meady because he might have died
before they made the journey to Alabama or soon after. Meady's
children were raised by Vincent Joiner and Ellen.
Jesse named a daughter Ellen.
Then a Martha Campbell married Matthew Stokes, after we found a
John Stokes living close to the Bozemans in Darlington. And William
Henry's daughter Martha married Norman Campbell.
Am led to believe that Peter had a brother named Jesse
who also served with him in the American Revolution, thus naming his
own son Jesse M. Bozeman in 1793. Peter's brother John went to
Mississippi while their younger brother James remained in Darlington
to raise his family.
Peter also named a son Peter E Bozeman who married
Gilly. Peter's other son was William Henry Bozeman who
married Martha Hill in Darlington.
Jesse Bozeman handled the estates for both widows Gilly
and Martha.
Many of these died young, perhaps due to the flu
epidemic or other diseases that wreaked havoc upon our
nation.
There are many documents to confirm this
little Bozeman Trail into Alabama.
This creates new trails of new family members and other
relations into the Carter and McClain families of my lineage, which
include Fenn, Fann, Stone, Hendrick, Wells, Lyles, Cochran,
Coonfield, Crigler, Little, Miller, Henderson, Long, Sturgeon,
Parker, Sweet, Tefft,
and then the Brooks lineage of Thornton, Partridge,
Hood, Baxter, Baxley, Smith, Connelly, Craig, Dickson, Bond and
Ballard.
Thus I end up with 16,000 in my family tree and a maize
of webpages in my collection. In 1972 this Bozeman/ McClain
descendant married a Brooks / Carter descendant , and his Carter's
first wife was a daughter of Jesse Bozeman, - but my mother married
one of the Cochran/ Miller/ Coonfield descendants.
